The Mission:Depict your favourite mythical character or story, with a steampunk aesthetic.

Steampunk is the application of advanced steam age technology to a modern or science fiction setting.

This challenge asks you to render traditional myths and legends in the steampunk style using elements of gears, springs, brass and steam power. Re-imagine legendary characters from some of the world's most ancient stories, such as a steam-powered minotaur, or a Zeppelin-mounted Thor, hurling lightning bolts from the sky.

Since famous tales are allowed too I decided to turn the Cinderella tale in the Steampunk style. Visit my challenge thread here. The challenge page with all my entries so far can be reached through this link.The due date is February 3rd...and I'm still in the concept phase. Hope I'll be able to finish.

Today I invited Steve Sprang (the creator of brushes for iPhone) for Lunch. We talked about ways to improve his software concerning workflow etc. The software is already awesome but if he includes what I requested it will blow away everything! ^^So go Steve go!

Also today I went with my colleagues to the Children Hospital do draw for the kids.The Children were excited and they had lots of requests like: Batman, Spiderman, Hulk, Dora, Naruto etc. Thank god we printed out some cheat sheets. Otherwise I would have been in trouble ^^;I really enjoyed spending time with the kids.
